"I needed a new roof installed so I called up Greater Boston Roofing on a recommendation from a good friend. They were easy to work with, and flexible in picking a good date for the install. Job foreman Matt Hall was upfront and professional, and did an awesome job making sure I knew what was going on with the installation of the roof. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a new roof."

"Sebastian was both very professional and knowledgeable. His was great to deal with, and did the job perfectly. I would recommend him to a family member or friend that needed work done on their roofs. Also, I would contact him again if I needed any more work on my house or porch roof."

"We had a water leak in the roof from near the chimney in the roof. We called Lifetime roofing and Kyle was very responsive and was able to schedule a repair before the next rain storm. Very professional and awesome to work and did an amazing job. He even called and checked post the next rain storm to make sure the fix is working. Would definitely use them again when its time to replace the roof."

"Great job by all the men involved. I’m tired of the waiting and not showing up. REI roofing was there when they said they would be and did a fantastic. They even went the extra mile to do things right at no extra cost! They are the best at what they do! And I would have them back in a moment. Unfortunately their repairs are so good I probably won’t see them for 20 to 30 years. That makes me sad.?"

"The main house roof replacement went very well. However, our porch was a major problem. When we sat down to discuss the job, the manager was informed about porch roof pitch, and if we'd need special considerations of possibly using membrane roofing vs shingles, etc. We were told the pitch was sufficient for traditional shingles. The day of the job, when workers had the entire roof removed, the foreman called the manager and said we'd need a membrane roof. The membrane roof was installed, and the porch ceiling leaked worse than it did with the old roof. I was upset because the problem areas were clearly pointed out to the manager during walk through before work began. After 2 rainstorms and many new leaks, the manager visited the worksite and tried to convince us it was faulty siding, and the wind was blowing rain threw a vent at a 90 degree angle, creating water pooling four feet in from the exterior wall. After repeated phone calls to the company, a carpenter who worked for the roofer was dispatched, and he preformed leak tests by using a garden hose to soak the roof area. After no leaking was found, I showed him exactly where I thought the problem was coming from-guess what? He removed the roof shingles beneath the area I had pointed out to the manager before re-roofing work began. The problem was behind a soffit that met at a corner of our roof valley. The carpenter found that the actual wall that met the roof deck was further in than the flashing/shingles were laid. He corrected the wall problem, replaced the fascia board, re-layed the shingle and so far, the leaking has stopped. We were finally able to have the porch ceiling and walls redone. Thankfully, this contractor stood by his work, and eventually solved the problem. I wouldn't hire again mainly because the initial explanation didn't make sense to me. He insisted we had a siding problem, not a roofing problem. As far as I'm concerned, someone who's specialty is roofing, should spot potential problem areas and make a homeowner aware of it, especially when the home owner points it out to you before beginning work. How can you guarantee the new roof if it fails to prevent weather from entering the home because it doesn't correctly work in tandem with the house walls, corners, roof deck or siding?"

"Tony showed up on time and replaced leaking flashing on two vent pipes on my roof. Quality of work was excellent and he provided pictures of repair in process and looked for any other issues while on my roof. Communication with Tony from Skyway was a refreshing change, he is very prompt to get back to you in a timely manner. I will be calling him again in the future for sure."

"In March, a winter storm badly damaged our roof. It needed to be replaced. Completely at a loss, I started searching for a roofing company. Never having done this before, it was a daunting task. Have you ever looked for a roofing contractor?? The BBB lists 387 contractors near our address! We got several estimates, and each one had something about it that was a deal breaker. Finally, a friend recommended A1 Roofing and Construction. I called them, and Sean Napolitano called me back immediately. Within a couple of days, Sean had someone come out and inspect the roof and see what was required. He came out to the house and sat down with me and went over the estimate, answering any and all questions I had. The estimate was concise, with no hidden issues. We agreed to go ahead with Early on the day of the appointment, a dumpster was delivered. The driver placed wood beneath it to protect the driveway, and placed it so that we could still get in and out of our garage. The crew arrived promptly at 7, and the work began. The front and the back of the house were tarped, as was our in ground pool. They even moved the deck furniture out of the way, just in case. They worked methodically and very professionally, with a project manager here the whole time. He answered my questions and pitched in with the crew to get the job done! This group worked well together, very efficiently. I have to admit, I was a little nervous at first. The yard was covered with all of the equipment and supplies that they needed to complete the job. I mean covered! I really didn’t need to worry… By 2:30, the job was finished. The crew was gone, and you never would have known they were here except for the beautiful (yes, beautiful!) new roof. Equipment and tarps were gone. The yard was in better shape than when they came! The yard furniture was put back. Not a shred of trash, a stray nail-nothing remained. About an hour later, A1 picked up their (now full) dumpster. The driver picked it up, packed up the wood it was sitting on, pulled the truck into the street, picked up any stray nails from where the dumpster was sitting, and blew off the driveway! Amazing! I would recommend A1 Roofing and Construction without reservation. The things that set them apart from the very beginning were; a very fair price, a complete explanation of what work was being performed both verbally and in writing, the 50 year warranty on the materials and the 12 year warranty on their workmanship, and, last but not least, their stellar reputation. The new roof looks great. It has Architectural Shingles that give the roof a look of depth. A1’s stellar reputation, in my eyes, is richly deserved. Thank you very much Sean Napolitano and Company! All the Best, Dianne Hutton"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Providence, RI

An average Cape Cod roof-raising project requires approximately two to three months from start to finish. The timeline depends on several variables, including weather conditions, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and the specific complexity of your home's structure. The process involves multiple phases, including demolition, framing, roofing, window installation, and interior finishing. Working with an experienced contractor who provides a detailed timeline can help set realistic expectations for the project duration.

While most Cape Cod homes can accommodate roof-raising modifications, each house requires individual structural assessment. Older homes may need foundation reinforcement or wall strengthening before supporting additional weight. Factors like the existing roof framing system, load-bearing wall placement, and overall structural integrity all influence feasibility. A qualified structural engineer should evaluate your specific property before proceeding with design plans. Additionally, local zoning ordinances may restrict maximum building height or architectural modifications in certain neighborhoods.

Temporary relocation is highly recommended during a Cape Cod roof raising project. The construction process involves removing portions of your existing roof, exposing interior spaces to potential weather damage, and creating significant noise and dust. Most homeowners find temporary accommodations for the two to three-month construction period, with relocation costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on your housing choices. If staying with family or friends isn't possible, budget for short-term rental or extended-stay hotel expenses as part of your overall project cost.

Consider roof raising when you experience severely limited headroom throughout the second floor, find yourself constantly stooping under sloped ceilings, or have minimal usable floor space due to low ceiling heights. Other indicators include inadequate natural light, poor ventilation, and difficulty accommodating standard furniture in upstairs rooms. Simple renovations can improve an attic's appearance, but cannot create additional headroom without structural modifications. A complete roof-raising project makes more sense than cosmetic renovations if you're seeking genuine second-floor living space rather than just storage improvements.

Begin your search by seeking contractors with specific experience in Cape Cod structural modifications and dormer additions. Request detailed portfolios showing similar completed projects and ask for references from previous clients with comparable work. Verify that potential contractors hold appropriate licenses and insurance coverage and understand local building codes relevant to roof raising. Interview multiple candidates, comparing price quotes and their communication style, project approach, and proposed timeline. The ideal contractor should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Cape Cod architectural characteristics and structural requirements.
